[Stafford Ondego, Standard]As President William Ruto presents his second State of the Nation address to Parliament and the people, today it is exactly 800 days since he was sworn into office. That’s a “bottom-up” view of the economic state of the nation. It is, instead, an accountability statement to Article 1 Kenyans on the state of our Article 10 national values and principles, international obligations under Article 2 (5) and national security under Article 240. This brings us to our favoured human security as a national security angle. However, the point to repeat is it is less about the address content – progress, status, trajectory – and more about its tenor.
